Haiti : After 2 Years Haitians, Defrauded of the Billions in Earthquake relief Aid

Which is why you always want to manage your money directly... rather than leaving it in the hands of some fiduciary.

Your money in someone else's vault is not your money.

Precisely...I honestly have never understood why people would be so foolish to believe that their donated money, clothes, food, etc.
gets to where it needs to go.........
 
People have got to stop reacting the same way, everytime a disaster strikes exploited/poverty stricken countries and communities (praying and sending donations)....we donate money, because that is a easy way out and it requires no type of critical thinking....not too many of us really want to get involved in activism that empowers countries like Haiti....throwing money at the problem has never been the answer and never will be....
 
Haiti, Raped by the U.S. Since 2004, and Still Bleeding Wed.

Glen A Black Agenda Radio commentary by Glen Ford

The horrific squandering of Haitian lives and earthquake relief and aid dollars by the occupying powers over the past two years are direct consequences of previous imperial crimes. “Since 2004, Haiti has been methodically stripped of its sovereignty, made into a protectorate of the United Nations,” which is merely a front for the United States. “The earthquake of January 2010 was a natural phenomenon that happened to take place while a rape was in progress.” Haiti, Raped by the U.S. Since 2004, and Still Bleeding A Black Agenda Radio commentary by Glen Ford “The United States has flexed every superpower muscle to prolong Haiti’s agony.” In the American media, Haiti is most often spoken of as a tragedy – when it is actually the scene of horrific crimes, mainly perpetrated by the United States over the span of two centuries. For the past two years, since the earthquake that shook the life out of hundreds of thousands of already deeply wounded people, the United States has flexed every superpower muscle to prolong Haiti’s agony. Half a million people are still homeless, two years after the quake, despite the billions in relief and recovery aid pledged by international donors. Sixty percent of the rubble has yet to be removed from the capital and its suburbs, and 6,000 people have died from a cholera epidemic brought into the country by United Nations troops. The UN has still not seen fit to apologize for being the vector of disease, because the UN is not accountable to the people of Haiti – only to the United States. The Americans used a huge chunk of their so-called aid money to reimburse themselves for the cost of their military occupation of the country. Dead, dying, sick, starving, homeless Haitians are made to pay for their own imprisonment in their native land, while Washington gloats that it is Haiti’s last, best hope, and that the catastrophic earthquake might have been a good thing, a chance for a “new beginning” under Washington's firm guidance. Millions were spent to choreograph crooked elections that brought to office a government with no power, even less money, and not a shred of dignity – a puppet regime held in absolute disrespect by its American puppeteers. http://blackagendareport.com/content/haiti-raped-us-2004-and-still-bleeding

Little different outlook from a Diaspora Haitian.

This faux confusion is annoying. If you do not understand then it's not up to you to understand. It's really no difference whether you understand. The Africans of Haiti will still starve whether your objective is to play with semantics or not.

Talk talk talk won't do any difference.

Faux scope restriction is annoying as well.
Perhaps the other Americans feel left out?
